Hello folks,

What are some good music books out there? Here are some that I like:

Drum Machines - helped me understand drum machine programming: http://www.amazon.com/Drum-Programming- ... rogramming

General Guitar - a classic that is unmatched: https://www.amazon.com/Guitar-Handbook- ... r+handbook

Synthesizer programming - dated but short/easy to help understand synthesizers: http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Synth ... ynthesizer

I really love How Music Works by David Byrne. Very interesting discussion of a lot of different aspects of music.

This is probably the 2nd guitar book I ever bought ... when I was a kid I would fanticize about owning all this different types of guitars in it - I would also pick up buyer' guides and drool over the jacksons
